More quotes by Anthony Trollope
Passionate love, I take it, rarely lasts long, and is very troublesome while it does last. Mutual esteem is very much more valuable.
Anthony Trollope
That I can read and be happy while I am reading, is a great blessing.
Anthony Trollope
I never believe anything that a lawyer says when he has a wig on his head and a fee in his hand. I prepare myself beforehand to regard it all as mere words, supplied at so much the thousand. I know he'll say whatever he thinks most likely to forward his own views.
Anthony Trollope
There is no road to wealth so easy and respectable as that of matrimony.
Anthony Trollope
I have no ambition to surprise my reader. Castles with unknown passages are not compatible with my homely muse.
Anthony Trollope
Success is a poison that should only be taken late in life and then only in small doses.
Anthony Trollope
Before the reader is introduced to the modest country medical practitioner who is to be the chief personage of the following tale, it will be well that he should be made acquainted with some particulars as to the locality in which, and the neighbours among whom, our doctor followed his profession.
Anthony Trollope
I ain't a bit ashamed of anything.
Anthony Trollope
People go on quarrelling and fancying this and that, and thinking that the world is full of romance and poetry. When they get married they know better.
Anthony Trollope
When men think much, they can rarely decide.
Anthony Trollope
It is a grand thing to rise in the world. The ambition to do so is the very salt of the earth. It is the parent of all enterprise, and the cause of all improvement.
Anthony Trollope
When any practice has become the fixed rule of the society in which we live, it is always wise to adhere to that rule, unless it call upon us to do something that is actually wrong. One should not offend the prejudices of the world, even if one is quite sure that they are prejudices.
Anthony Trollope
An author must be nothing if he do not love truth a barrister must be nothing if he do.
Anthony Trollope
A husband is very much like a house or a horse.
Anthony Trollope
If you cross the Atlantic with an American lady you invariably fall in love with her before the journey is over. Travel with the same woman in a railway car for twelve hours, and you will have written her down in your own mind in quite other language than that of love.
Anthony Trollope
Satire, though it may exaggerate the vice it lashes, is not justified in creating it in order that it may be lashed.
Anthony Trollope
Easy reading requires hard writing.
Anthony Trollope
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Anthony Trollope
Considering how much we are all given to discuss the characters of others, and discuss them often not in the strictest spirit of charity, it is singular how little we are inclined to think that others can speak ill-naturedly of us, and how angry and hurt we are when proof reaches us that they have done so.
Anthony Trollope
The happiest man is he, who being above the troubles which money brings, has his hands the fullest of work.
